How to watch the 2025 Men's College World Series between LSU and Coastal Carolina
Fresh off an enlivening and altogether chaotic comeback, the LSU Tigers have a chance to win their eighth NCAA title in program history this weekend. On the other side, the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers will try to go 2-for-2 in College World Series appearances, and the team brings a 26-game winning streak into the championship action. We're primed for a good one in Cornhusker country. Advertisement College World Series broadcasts are also available on ESPN+. Chanticleers coach Kevin Schnall rightfully insists on the proper pronunciation. 'It's SHON-ta-cleers, not CHAN-ta-cleers,' he clarified after another momentous win, this time over Oregon State. With two more wins, they can also call themselves national champs. Catcher Caden Bodine, a top-round prospect, leads Coastal Carolina's balanced and intimidating lineup. Right-handers Jacob Morrison and Cameron Flukey make for a strong 1-2 punch atop the mound. And first baseman Colby Thorndyke comes in with a searing swing. He recorded five RBIs last time out in Wednesday's 11-3 demolition of Louisville. The Chanticleers made their maiden World Series trip in 2016, dropping the opener to Arizona before bouncing back with consecutive wins. Their opponents, meanwhile, have won the series seven times, more than any school in the country except USC (which hasn't made a final since 2001). LSU last won it all in 2023, when current MLB superstar Paul Skenes led his team past Florida. This year's iteration has a flair for the dramatic, reaching the World Series off an 11th-hour comeback against SEC rival Arkansas. The Tigers were down 5-3 in the ninth inning, before a pair of defensive mishaps by the Razorbacks put Jared Jones in walk-off position. LSU's first baseman had previously tied the game up with a solo moonshot in the eighth inning. He followed that up with the decisive base hit into straightaway center field. The Tigers enjoy tone-setting starting pitching. Southpaw Kade Anderson is a contender for the No. 1 pick in the upcoming MLB Draft, while right-hander Anthony Eyanson more than holds his own. The duo racks up strikeouts and has delivered in pressurized situations, and will have to do it again. Streaming, betting and ticketing links in this article are provided by partners of The Athletic.

Aaron Nesmith puts Chet Holmgren on poster with insane putback
The post Aaron Nesmith puts Chet Holmgren on poster with insane putback appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Indiana Pacers will be facing elimination following their 120-109 Game 5 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals. One thing the Pacers have going for them is Game 6 will be on their home court. And in the midst of the Pacers trying to spark a late rally in Game 5, Aaron Nesmith had one of the highlights of the night with an insane poster dunk on Thunder big man Chet Holmgren. Advertisement Aaron Nesmith's poster dunk on Chet Holmgren came late in the fourth quarter as the Pacers trailed the Thunder by double digits. The dunk cut the Thunder lead to 120-105 with about two and a half minutes remaining. But the Pacers would only score two more points the rest of the way and would fall despite the Thunder not scoring any points from that point on. If the Pacers want to keep their season alive and extend the NBA Finals to deciding Game 7, they'll need strong production from players like Nesmith. He gave the Pacers a solid performance in Game 5 finishing with 14 points, six rebounds and one steal while shooting 5-of-9 from the field and 4-of-5 from the three-point line in a little over 24 minutes. His poster dunk on Holmgren was the only non three-point shot he hit. During the Pacers playoff run so far, Nesmith had been averaging a playoff career-high 13.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists with splits of 47.9 percent shooting from the field, 49.1 percent shooting from the three-point line and 87.9 percent shooting from the free-throw line. Now in his third season with the Pacers, Nesmith has developed into one of the Pacers' most dependable role players on both ends of the court. This season, he shot a career-high 43.1 percent from the three-point line. The No. 14 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, Nesmith was acquired by the Pacers in a trade with the Boston Celtics ahead of the 2022-23 season.

Brazil expresses interest in hosting 2029 Club World Cup
Brazil has expressed its interest in hosting the 2029 men's Club World Cup. A statement from the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF) said that its newly-elected president, Sami Xaud, held a meeting with his FIFA counterpart, Gianni Infantino, on Friday where the idea was discussed. The ongoing Club World Cup is taking place in the United States and The Athletic reported in December that FIFA was considering hosting the tournament in the same location in four years. Advertisement Meanwhile, James Johnson, Football Australia's chief executive, told the Sydney Morning Herald in June 2023 that his country would consider bidding for the 2029 hosting rights. Reports from Africa have also quoted the Moroccan FA (FRMF) chief Fouzi Lekjaa as saying his nation, alongside Spain and Portugal, would want to host the tournament a year before they act as co-hosts for the men's World Cup. 'It all started with an introductory conversation,' Xaud said, via the CBF website. 'I spoke about my goals as head of the CBF and said that we want to be closer to FIFA. I praised the event and the level of Brazilian clubs and, finally, I made the country available to host the next World Cup. 'President Gianni Infantino was very happy and said that it was totally possible. Now we're going to work to make it happen. It's going to be a great goal.' The meeting, the CBF said, took place at the FIFA Executive Football Summit 2025 in Miami. Xaud, meanwhile, was elected as CBF president in May, replacing Ednaldo Rodrigues who was removed from the position after a court ruling in Brazil. Brazil has four of South America's six clubs competing at the 2025 Club World Cup, in Palmeiras, Flamengo, Fluminense and Botafogo qualifying as the respective winners of the Copa Libertadores from 2021 to 2025. The Brazilian Serie A runs from March to December but has paused for a month due to the Club World Cup. (Photo of Flamengo celebrating at the Club World Cup,)
